Even when business is featured in novels, it often fails to accurately reflect real-world business organizations. This book contends that literary representations of business remain elusive because they serve potential aesthetic purposes, subtly influencing readers. By examining the intricate portrayal of business in realist, naturalist, and modernist works, Erhan Simsek uncovers these functions by analyzing how the motif interacts with social developments, literary movements, and author biographies. Through this exploration, he sheds light on the motif itself while emphasizing the value of focusing on the evolving roles of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 666g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 226 x 147 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783837647990\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erhan Simsek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097299448058,"sku":"9783837647990","price":46.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646112859262_book.jpg?v=1646636974","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/creating-realities-business-as-a-motif-in-american-fiction-18651929-9783837647990","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
